We arrive to school as the bell to second period went off.
"See Mel, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. We made it just in time."
"I still have to go to my locker on the other side of the hallway!" I rush away and surprised to see Miles is rushing behind me.
I yell "Miles you passed the door to your class."
" If your going to be late, it's only fair that I am as well. Besides that means more time with my best friend ever." He chuckles as I am losing my breath.
"Your stalling, just go before we get into trouble." I attempt to catch my breath.
"Ms Fields & Mr. Whitmore I believe I just heard the tardy bell." We both turned around to see Principle Ashby.
"Sorry Sir we are going to class now." I apologize as we both hurry to second period.
Lunch time came quickly and I wasn't prepared to face the nausea and possible vomiting afterwards. I have always been fairly thin but now that It is a struggle to eat a full meal without vomiting I have lost weight and unable to gain any.
"Earth to Mel." Miles waves in front of me bringing me back to reality.
"Yea? So Miles I was just distracted." Miles smiles at me as he hands me a chocolate chip granola bar. Granola bars seems to be the only thing I can manage to keep down and chocolate chip happens to be my favorite.
" You can't keep sneaking food in. We could get in trouble." I whisper trying to be discreet.
"What's wrong with living a little and besides this is the only thing that you can handle." Miles explains.
I give him a smile and take the granola bar from him.
Miles was going on and on about how he couldn't wait for Christmas break even though we just had Thanksgiving break. My attention goes elsewhere when I notice Declan Moore walking across the cafeteria heading our way. I start to get nervous that my hands start to shake. Declan has blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Declan is one of the most popular students and the captain of the hockey team. Keep calm Melanie you can do this.
"Hey man are you going to be at practice tonight?" Declan asks Miles as I sit there drooling over him.
" You know it. I have to take Mel home first but I will be back."
"Oh yeah for sure. Gotta take care of your girlfriend first."
"I am not his girlfriend." I blurt out
All eyes were on me as I realize I said that way to loud. Talk about embarrassing.
" Mel and I are just friends. But I will see you at practice." Miles says as he gets up to walk away.
" Miles wait up! " I shout as I rush to catch up to him.
"I got to get to class." Miles says without making eye contact and I can tell he is irritated.
"What's your problem?" I ask stopping in front of him.
"My problem? I don't have a problem." Miles says before walking around me without looking back.
